Notre-Dame Cathedral and Musée De Louvre

Kate and I were up early and out the door today for awesome day of sight seeing. We committed to a very long walk from our hotel to the Notre-Dame cathedral. After the Notre-Dame, we hopped onto a subway to go to the Musée De Louvre.  Here are some pictures with a few words:

 The Code of Hammurabi -



It’s an example of one of mankind’s earliest and most complete attempt at a set of laws that would govern day to day life. The Code consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man. Very cool stuff.

Tuesday we should be going to the top of the Eiffel Town and we'll be taking in the Army museum which has Napoleon's tomb in it.
